HOPE I came upon a moonbeam, In the garden of despair, I sought it not, it sought not me, It was just waiting there. Q And with a laugh, I stepped V Within the circle of its light, And suddenly the garden's Very darkness was made bright. Yet I know that all about me Was the footfall of despair, I That would have overcome me, i Had the moonbeam not been there. Every garden that is darkened, Every heart filled with despair, Has a moonbeam or a comfort, That with you the pain will bear. You, too, can find the moonbeam, In the garden of despair, Though you seek it not, it seeks not you lt will be waiting there. -Tommy V. Swafford x X 5 f -52-

THE PATRONAGE SYSTEM THE EDITORS DISCUSS PATRONAGE MATTERS WITH THE PERSONNEL COMMITTEE OF THE HOUSE, left to right, seated, The Honorable W. Sterling Cole, of New York, The Honorable Leo E. Allen, of Illinois, Chairman, and The Honorable Marion T. Bennett, of Missouri. To the victor belong the spoils! Even before a Senator uttered that policy-making statement in the time of Andrew Jackson the triple alliteration of Politics, Patronage, and Pages had been the keynote for the patron- age system in the Congress. Each House of the Congress has a com- mittee which assigns appointments to certain Senators and Representatives belonging to the majority party. These Congressmen in turn appoint the boys who become the pages. ln spite of the fact that both Houses of the Congress are naw Republican, and conse- quently only Republicans may appoint pages, many boys remain under Republican sponsor- ship who previously held office under the Democrats. The pages serve members from both the great parties, and much to their satisfaction and relief, the Democratic pages have found that the Republican Members are not particularly partisan in their choice of boys to fill up the patronage positions. The patron is usually more than a pass for a job. He is an adviser, a helper, and, above all else, a friend. To these men, our sponsors, we owe a tre- mendous debt, for it is entirely through them that we have the great opportunity of serving on The Hill . lt is with this borne in mind that we have dedicated The 1948 Congres- sional to our patrons, for we try from day to day to repay with our gratitude and services this debt. --M.
